Mid Year Solo Episode: Arely Lagunas, Dropping Gems Con Muchos Colores Host

We are at the midpoint of the year and also my birthday month!

I took this opportunity to do a solo episode to share and spill the beans on personal goals and milestones I have reached. Symbolizing stretching my comfort zone, acquiring personal growth, relentless work, and placing my heart on my sleeve.

Frankly, this episode took me a couple of weeks to finalize between recording, editing, and production and sailing parenthood and work life with my 3 summer breakers. But I believe in a mantra that has helped me navigate my personal aspirations and motherhood: Our life comes in segments, we can have it all if we’re not trying to do it all at once. Taking action one day at a time. Consistency over perfection.

The experience and exposure as a proud immigrant, first gen Latina, WOC, and working mom allowed me to recalibrate obstacles into opportunities and scale! 

Last year, I had tremendous growth in my Career Coaching and HR Consulting journey but also on a personal level. I share in this episode my career journey of 16 years in Human Resources and 5 years in career coaching. Overcoming a lot of self-limiting beliefs and working relentlessly on mindset and systems to grow, scale and thrive. It was not an overnight achievement. What I value the most is the impact it has created.

What started as a vision with a lot of unknowns and fears but a warrior spirit to create a more fulfilling life and time freedom that matched my family priorities. Helping individuals go from “untapped potential” to being the driver of their career journey. Using every talent, skill and unique gift to build the life we all deserve.

This year in March, I launched Evolve HR Leadership & Consulting. I founded Evolve HR to cultivate a new landscape of workplace cultures that reflects the values and priorities of the new generation of leaders. Growing leadership capabilities transforming business into the employer of choice.

The world is contantly changing women leaders are more prominent than ever in redefining the workforce of tomorrow. I know this because once I found my voice I was able to rise to leadership roles where I directly impacted the culture of the company. I did this by leading with empathy and showing up a as a thought leader. Developing policies and programs that were applicable to working moms. I used by voice to create family friendly policies and make changes in topics that matter the most to us working moms.

I am driven by making an impact to make an equitable workplace for our future generations that includes my children and specifically daughters as data shows WOC, mothers have been severaly underrepresented and have faced systematic challenges to reach leadership roles and equitable pay.
